The bleed shouldn't actually surprise anyone who knows how the acquisition actually happened. It only surprises tech reporters who are universally oblivious to this part.

If someone said: "We're buying the company you work for, and you're going to get $$$$$ out of the deal. You get some of it up-front, and the rest dolled out over the next four years." Well, now the four years are up. Do you stay and continue to simply work for $, or do you take a break and find something new to do with your life?

Considering that they worked for $ beforehand and will likely not get more than $ at other places, there is at least the theoretical possibility that it didn't all turn to shit and that they would choose to continue working at the company for the same reason they initially started working there.
